Mossel Bay was my husband's second home growing up so he has always been fond of visiting the area.It was my longest stay to date and I fell in love with the place! The people are friendly, it has the most amazing scenery, the food was delicious and there was always something to do!

Disappointing

Every time we visit Mossel Bay, we hope things will have improved, but we are always disappointed. It's too big to have that small-town charm anymore, but doesn't have the proper infrastructure of a larger town. It's probably fine if all you're interested in is the beach (which is beautiful), but don't expect fine dining or tourist attractions.

Before we decided to have a holiday in Mossel Bay, a friend commented that it was 'so clean'. Absolutely true. Even though the Buffalo Rally was on while we were there, everything was well controlled. And the day after some 3000 bikers had left, the campsite was spotless again. The city is so well-kept, it is a real example for us in Gauteng where litter is the order of the day. Santos Beach doesn't have waves so is great for 'exercise swimming'; however, Dias Beach, just up the road does have great waves. All in all a great holiday!

If you want to be outside Mossel Bay to enjoy the peace and tranquil surroundings then stay in Dana bay and explore around it

Also of recent historical interest are the relics of the first Europeans to land in South Africa.
